<Perhaps the gravest omission is the failure to analyze the "combatant" role of the global media, which can determine the outcome of battles, campaigns and entire wars in the post-modern era. Military leaders admit that they found the issue too politically sensitive and complex to address at this stage of the doctrine's development; nonetheless, any COIN strategy that fails to plan for the media's inherent hostility to any American endeavor sets itself up for unnecessary failures. The insurgents are our open enemies, but many elements within the world's media are their conscious or unwitting allies. Until we force the media to admit its role in shaping outcomes, we will continue to grant our opponents a huge strategic advantage.>

A much more substantial task than defeating mere terrorists.
